Final Fantasy Tactics & CEP

[dolphinboy]

I apologize if this is in the wrong section, feel free to kick this post where it belongs if need be .

I have FFT up and running on PSX (much better than ePSXE was by the way), and I was trying to configure CEP for some codes since there are none preprogrammed into it. However, I'm a complete newbie at this sort of thing, and I thought I'd ask here for any guidance on how to proceed and save myself some frustration.

I found the Gameshark Code list here: www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/197339/17555

The code I wanted to put in was:

50001302 0000
8005xxE2 270F [320] 9999 JP available for all jobs.

with the xx's changing per character.

I have no idea where to put these in, ect. I read through the Readme's, and I dont think I'm doing anything close to right when I try putting data in.

I was also trying to unlearn an ability that is already learned (Wish from Ramza), and didnt see anything that looked like it would do that.

Anyone thats willing to help on either of these would be awesome! Either post suggestions here or hit me up for AIM, ect.
Thanks a lot!

Alright... Let's see if we can do something about this...

First of all, it's a slide code, so the first line will never have to change to make it work. But I think we'll see if it'll work for you without having to change it. If we do... we'll get to that when the time comes. I'll just be quoting what I put in the "CEP Instructions" file with some clarifications.

- Start up the game and load your file.
- Start up CEP.
- Click the first tab, which is called "Process".
- Click the arrow for the first drop-down box called "Select Application" and select "pSX" from the list.
- Click the arrow next to the other drop-down box called "Base Address Search" and select "Playstation (pSX)" from the list.
- Click the "Search" button and wait until you see a bunch of numbers appear in the box called "Use Base Address Search", which is above the button.
- Now click the "Cheat" tab and click inside the big text box.
- Type in your codes, making sure to hit enter after each line of code.
- Once all the codes are in, hit Enter twice and type ".end" (don't type the quotes).
- Click the first drop-down box called "Translator" and select "Playstation" from the list.
- Click the second drop-down box called "Code Engine" and select "PAR Compatible" from the list.
- Click the "On" button.
- Minimize CEP and play your game.

Just follow those instructions line by line, and you'll have done everything correctly. If the code doesn't work... post back here and let me know, and I'll help you get that sorted out too ^^

I have absolutely no idea why you'd want to unlearn an ability. Wish is a good ability anyway (especially for the longer/harder battles), and it doesn't hurt in any way to know it. Any particular reason you want to unlearn it?

Oh, and if that code of yours doesn't work, try this one.

D011FADC 00BE
8011FADE 2400

That will give all characters infinite job points to work with. I can't recall if I ever tested that one or not, but it's worth a shot if the code you have doesn't work.

Service with a smile, way more than I expected to receive

I tried your code first, and it didnt work Mine halfway worked, and I found a combination of them that will do what I want them to do. Many thanks for your help!

I'm trying to unlearn Wish as part of a challenge, but I'm sure I can mess around with it and figure it out. If not, I'll just have to reset if he gets charmed and uses it, ect.

Thanks again for your help and the great program!!!

Hmm... well, the best I can think of right now would be to make him unlearn his Squire class moves. The following code *should* do that... but you'll have to try it to find out. I'm pretty positive that modifying the values of this code could yield forgetting different moves, but I have no idea what values would do what. I just know that using zeroes will make no abilities learned, and using the max values will make them all learned.

Well, the code you have didn't work completely because of a problem that CEP has. Not all codes work with it. And it's not that they aren't compatible or something... it's just that, by some seemingly random reason, some of the codes work, and some of them, while correct, are a little off according to the program. I'm trying to figure out why currently, but with little time and nobody willing to help... I don't know when that'll happen.

But... I'm glad to hear it at least partially worked for you. Hopefully the above code works for you (I've tested it in the past with CEP, but like I said... CEP will sometimes decide to not quite like certain codes).
